Installation
| 1. Log in to our client area and download the module. |
|
| 2. In the downloaded file you will find two packages that support different PHP versions. As presented on the screen below, the first one is dedicated to PHP 7, while the second one is aimed at PHP 5.4 up to PHP 5.6. It does not apply to open source versions. Note: You can check current PHP version in your WHMCS. To do so proceed to 'Utilities' → 'System' → 'PHP Info'. |
|
| 3. Extract the downloaded file and choose the one with the right PHP version. Upload and extract the PHP file into the main WHMCS directory. The content of PHP version files should look like this. |
|
| 4. When you install DirectAdmin Extended For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename 'license_RENAME.php' file. File is located in 'modules/servers/directadminExtended/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'. |
|
| 5. In order to configure your license key you have to edit a previously renamed 'license.php' file. Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products'. |

Tips
| 1. Keep in mind that user packages and reseller packages are two different things. When you configure a typical product for your customers in the WHMCS, you would usually need to enter one of your user packages, not the reseller packages. |
| 2. To manage SSL certificates, your customers require the owned IP address. Otherwise, the module will return the following error: 'You can manage SSL certificates when you own the IP you are using. Info for admins: Assign an owned IP'. |
| To add the owned IP address, log in to your DirectAdmin admin area, go to the 'IP Management' section, add the IP and assign it to the admin. |
|
| Afterwards, manage the user for whom you want to add the IP address. Set IP to your previously created IP address, save changes and make sure that this IP will be the current IP address of your customer. |
|
| If you add more IP addresses with free status in your DirectAdmin, you can quickly assign those IP addresses to your customers in WHMCS. For this purpose, simply type the IP in the 'Dedicated IP' field, press 'Enter' on your keyboard and update the product package by clicking on the 'Change Package' button. |
|
| 3. As this module supports templates system, any changes made in the module's template files will be saved after the upgrade process. |
| 4. Backups management in DirectAdmin panel: Admin Backups:

Update Instructions
| Essential guidance through the process of updating the module is offered here. Keep in mind there is a quick and easy option in our client area that will let you upgrade the license of your module to an open source version at any time - and at a lower price! |
| When migrating your product from version 2.x to 3.x, you must deactivate and then activate your addon to successfully migrate your current settings. (Please ignore point 8 of our modules update instruction). No other additional steps are required to keep your addon's configuration and products' settings. |
Common Problems
| 1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports. |
| 2. If you have problems with connection make sure that port 2222 is open. |
| 3. If you run into an ionCube encoder problem (wrong version) after the installation, please open a support ticket. We will provide you with a different version of the module encrypted with the older version of ionCube. |
| 4. You cannot change DirectAdmin port to other than 2222, due to WHMCS DirectAdmin module limitation. DirectAdmin Extended For WHMCS relies on a default WHMCS DirectAdmin module. |
| 5. DirectAdmin Extended For WHMCS module functions only on the administrator account. |
| 6. Change Package option currently does not support the Configurable Options. |
